Inventor: DAVILA LUIS A
IPC: A61M39/06

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a catheter having a hemostasis valve on its proximal end. The housing has a bore extending therethrough which is in communication with the lumen of the catheter. The housing has an end wall at its proximal end. The hemostasis valve has a slit elastic valve partition peripherally sealed between the end wall and a cap. The cap has an aperture extending therethrough. The bore of the housing and the aperture of the cap each communicate with an opposed major surface of the valve partition. The catheter is characterized by a compression ring disposed on the cap and abutting against the periphery of the valve partition. The compression ring has a larger inner diameter than the aperture and housing bore and of no more than equal diameter to that of the partition. The compression ring presses the periphery of the partition against the housing, causing the center of the valve partition to bow outwardly towards the aperture. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the catheter described above preferably has a valve partition containing from about 5 to 20 weight percent of a lubricity enhancing additive such as bismuth oxychloride, polytetrafluoroethylene, titanium dioxide, graphite, polyethylene wax, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A numerical input to a computer, such as an input of runway altitude to an aircraft control system, is controlled by a switch having five positions as follows: "off" for maintaining the current value, "slow increment" for increasing the value slowly, "fast increment" for increasing the value more quickly, "slow decrement" for slow decrease in the value, and "fast decrement" for faster decrease in the value. A processor monitors the current switch position. Depending on the period that a particular position is selected, the value fed to the control system and shown on a display can be "bumped" unit by unit (small units for a "slow" selection, and large units for a "fast" selection) or scrolled up or down at a rate which accelerates. Bumping is achieved by toggling the knob quickly from the off, or the next closest position, to the desired slow or fast position. Scrolling or "continuous slew" is selected by maintaining the switch in the desired slow or fast position.

Abstract: Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is overexpressed by certain infectious organisms that are resistant to most currently available antibiotics. Contrarywise, little FAS expression is identified in patient tissues. Inhibition of fatty acid synthesis is thus selectively  toxic to invasive cells, while patient cells with low FAS activity are resistant. This invention provides a method of treating septic patients where fatty acid synthesis by invading cells is inhibited with resultant interruption of the disease process.

Abstract: A warning device for a distance between cars, for measuring a distance
between a car and an object in front of the car, judging the possibility of danger on
the basis of distance data thus obtained, and generating an alarm in the case where it
is judged to be dangerous. The warning device provides a first alarm (a rear-end
collision alarm) generated in a condition of alert which necessitates deceleration or
braking, and a second alarm (an alarm for a distance between cars) generated in a
condition of alert which does not necessitate deceleration nor braking, the first and
second alarms, respectively, being judged by separate formulae for determining.
Accordingly, it is possible to positively generate an alarm when deceleration or
braking is necessitated. Further, the warning device discriminates a kind of an object
being measured (a moving body, obstruction, guardrail or the like) to judge danger
according to the kind of the discriminated object. Accordingly, it is possible to
improve reliability of an alarm and, in particular, to reduce incorrect alarms such as
by a guardrail.

IPC: A61F2/36

Abstract: The invention relates to a special ball head for artificial hip joints. Prior art ball heads are either firmly secured to the 'hip shaft' or fitted on its conical head. They are solid and made, for example, of metallic or ceramic materials. Owing to this design they have no elastic properties and can therefore neither act flexilbly nor fit the sliding surface in the socket. As the insertion of the artificial hip shaft causes the femur to lose a great deal of its natural elasticity, the entire femur-shaft-ball system is made disadvantageously mechanically rigid. In addition, the virtually point contact area between the ball head and the socket sliding surface means that polyethylene is rubbed off. The ball head of the invention not only provides the entire system with greater flexibility but also reduces the wear as it itself has elastic properties because its ball jacket (1, 4, 9, 14) is thin-walled and mates with an inner conical sleeve (3, 6, 11) via an elastic element (2, 5, 10, 15). The ball head is made of a metallic material and is preferably given a surface coating.

Abstract: A method of evaluating pulse width modulation patterns for a spatial light modulator display device. The method makes use of a light difference series function. This series function is obtained by representing "ON" or "OFF" times of a display element as a light function. Two such light functions can be subtracted to compare two different patterns on the same display element (interframe) or to compare the same pattern on different display elements (intraframe). The result of the subtraction is a light difference function, which can be expressed as a series function. Mathematical expressions using the series function correlate to various optical characteristics.

For at least some of the nodes, e.g. node 2 packets of electrons enter the node through MTJ1, and are selectively clocked out by tunnelling through MTJ2 or MTJ3, depending on the values of side gate voltages (V 2 , V 3 ) applied to their side gates (6), in dependence on the value of the input signal (X 1 ).
